Two artists quietly drinking dry type of gin
I believe the answer is:
rattrap
'type of gin' is the definition.
'rattrap' can be an answer for 'gin' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'type of' bit.
'two artists quietly drinking dry' is the wordplay.
'two' shows that letters should be duplicated.
'artists' becomes 'ra' (Royal Academy).
'quietly' becomes 'p' (p for piano and quiet).
'drinking' is an insertion indicator.
'dry' becomes 'tt' (abbreviation for teetotal).
'ra' duplicated is 'rara'.
'rara'+'p'='rarap'
'rarap' enclosing 'tt' is 'RATTRAP'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rattrap that I've seen before include "Means of catching rodent" , "Rodent snare" , "Agreeable; Mediterranean resort" , "Difficult situation" , "Rodent catcher - found on a bicycle!" .)
